         Community Conversation: 
           Listen to your Elders

If you missed the May 15th “Community Conversations: Listen to your Elders” event - well, you mised a good one!  Co-sponsored by the Bethel Area Non-profit Collaborative (BANC) and the Bethel Region Age-Friendly Community Initiative (AFCI), the event  brought together over 80 community members of all ages to take a look at what it’s like to live the “golden years” in our community. 

Participants gathered in the Crescent Park School gym to learn about the services the AFCI has provided since its inception four years ago, to hear from a few local story-tellers, and to explore ways our community might improve its age-friendliness.  Great conversations, delicious food to share – and a wealth of ideas for AFCI to pursue going forward!  Want to help?  Contact us.
